http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#fax For reference here are my files: master.cf fax unix - n n - 1 pipe flags=X user=uucp argv=/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d -n -N -T ${user} I added in the -N and -T switches to prevent the generation of an extra covering page with sender's details. 'user=' is whoever runs the hfaxd process. Make sure that faxmail is chmod 755 and owned by this user/group. transport (use 'postconf transport' after making any changes) fax.domain.tld fax:localhost main.cf smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access recipient_access (use 'postconf recipient_access' after making any changes) recipient_access = fax.domain.tld permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated This permits only clients who are on the local network *or* SASL authenticated to use the fax service. This is a good insurance against outsiders (who having discovered or guessed at the email address) using your fax service. Note that SASL is not standard with source builds (or any binary package) of Postfix. You will need to check that yours has this enabled. Other notes: fax.domain.tld does NOT need to be in DNS, and probably shouldn't be, unless you need to access this service using mail originating from another mail server.
